Developed Spaces

A glimpse of what your future space could become…

The Cotton Factory is already home to several beautifully built-out suites, each one transformed from raw mill space into something functional, inviting, and uniquely personal to the business inside. These developed spaces show the full potential of the building: soaring ceilings, exposed beams, generous natural light, flexible layouts, and the character only a historic mill can provide.

From lounges and break areas to meeting rooms, micro-markets, creative studios, and open-concept workspaces, these examples highlight how tenants have shaped the mill to fit their brand, their culture, and their daily workflow.

Your space can be just as customized, just as modern, and just as full of possibility.
